Green Tires From Orange Peels Use Less Oil, Bring Better MPGs

Pretty cool idea IMO, especially since peels aren't too useful anyways. I definitely like the idea of reducing the petroleum usage in manufacturing of the tire. Lower rolling resistance just makes it even better, and a 20% claimed improvement none the less!
